Gray Hair in men

Gray hair is one of the most obvious signs of aging, apart from wrinkles. Even the least vain man will start feeling troubled with having gray hair sooner or later. Men, sadly, start having gray hair younger than women and gray hair in men often comes hand-in-hand with balding and…of course, the beer belly!  

When, exactly, do men start getting gray hair? This varies from one man to the next. Some get it as early as in their teens and some get it in their thirties…and the lucky ones experience the first strand of gray hair in their forties or fifties.  

Men’s hair will start turning gray at a very gradual pace. They don’t turn gray overnight although it feels that way. The graying of men’s hair usually starts at the temples…and it slowly creeps upward towards the top of the head. It can be very attractive at this point. However, as the years wear on, men’s gray hair will slowly but surely – turn WHITE.  

Most men in their forties will have some gray hair near their scalp. If you don’t look hard, you might not even see it. The process is slow and quite gradual. As men continue to age, hair on the men’s body and face will slowly turn gray too. Usually, however, it’s the hair on the head that turns gray first. The only hair on men that may or may not turn gray is the hair around the armpit, chest and pubic area.
